hi there
i have a little script which runs for a little while. i want to invoke it
again _during_ its first execution in a way that i have two instances or so.
i can't make it work: in the script editor it obviously doesn't work, but
even if i save it as compile script ("application") a second double-click on
the file when the first instance still runs just activates the first
instance nothing else. :-(
Mac OS does not support that sort of thing. You only get one instance.
If you want two, duplicate the file and run the duplicate separately.
and the next issue would be how this two instances can communicate with each
other. (what do the properties do in this situation?)
That "properties" problem is likely why we don't complicate the Mac
with multiple "instances" of apps. ;-)
What are you trying to accomplish? If you can explain it, then we can
come up with a way to do it.
